NII.sionnrIr. In Africa.

At table" said Mir. Stanley. the ne groes have adopted spoons and knives introduced some cheap Birmingham knive. made with ono rivet. They wouldn't have them They said the iron wasn't good enough. Now they use knives made with three rivets. I introduced one dollar knives, and I havo sold at least 900 in one day" Air. Stanley said that the mis. sionaries in Africa were doing a great deal of good The trouble with them began when they tried to do two things at once. explore and teach. A missionary who at tempted tO explore and get himself into trouble with the natives could never teach "A city founded on violence cannot stand, '' was the Biblical quotation Mir Stanley made in support of what be said MT Stanley is known in Africa as Bula Matari, the rock breaker The natives have heard of Stanley, but they believe he is being of another kind.

McGillan's Plan.
NJ. s. SNYDER, Clerk.

The following plan wEs urged by NIT E. NJ. McGillan. of Cleveland, Ohio, be lore the International Range Assocls' tion ID Denver. last week. as the proper method of meeting the eIactions of the Chicago and Kansas city stock monOpol' les. and for the protection of the stock growers Intere-ts:-
 Pool The entire cattle interests of Am cries. Let each owner give @ mortgage on every animal he owns for S5.OO per heBd, payable in five annual payments such payments tO be deducted out of his beef sales. Let this EoOl decide when. there and how all beef should be ship ped and sold. Les no cettle be sold si any price or on any terms except to this pool, Let each state and territIry elect their own directors, and these directors elect their own president. The presi- dents of the states and territories wiil be the directors of the national company, and thes in turn Eill elect their pres'- dent. The details are too long 10 sketch ct present. The company should star. with h capital of si least one hup- dred millious-i e., twenty millions paid in first. and twenty millions each aidl. iionsl year, until Ell is Uuid up.
 The magnitude of my plan seems to sstluish good many people, nCd even some of the waTnlest eRdorsers of Ii say: "Why don't you commence more moder- stely, say with five or ten millions cspi- ;sl. and work your company up" Gen tlemeH, history fails to report any in- stance in which a canal boat was ever sent ont to capture @ msn-of-wari and Bismarck tells us other things being equal, the larger army will eventually defeat a smaller one. This is more true about capital.

\ Lost Mine.
JEaterpri-e}


 D. reason Of She operations now be ing carnti on ID gold inning. on tho Gfia River iu the nei-hborhOOd oi Riverside interest n what IS known al She old Yuma gold miue has been re vIy=i. Iais is one Of tns numeroDi ''lost mines" ln which the history o Arizona Is so prolific but m thIs in stance there is a solid foundation ot fat on which tO work. The story, a; told, IS about as foliOwst l number of years ago an officer of the army was ca-hiered for some crime or violation of discipline. and In consequence Of the attendant disgrace adopted he soOri- quet Of Yuma by which name be was known to his BCquaintEnces in Ari- ZoEa.
 He engaged in the business Of trad Ing, and carried on hIs business by trByelIng over the country with his goods ID wagons. One of his principal stations for trading was at the con huence of the San Pedro and GIla rivers, before there were any white set tiers n that section of the country. By some means he had gained the friend ship of the ApsChes, and whenever he appeared there the Indians would come in large numbers to deal with hlm. While there he wOuld go of ID company with some Indians, allowing no one else Co accompany him, and after sn Bb- seuce of one and a half to two days, would return loaded down with white quartz that was immensely rich in free gold. "Yumg" made numerous trips of this klnd, and always came back with quantities of the same kind of ore, but would not reveal the location of hls find. But one day he started out on one of hIs trips and that was the last that was ever seen of him. dead or alive. It IS supposed that be became engaged n quarrel with the Indians and was killed. The existence Of this man and that he periodically appeared m Tucson with thIs t6UuIuu-ly uch U=e, IS a well Bu- thenucated Tact, Bs con be Bttested by several of tle old residents of Tucson. one ot whom has spent considerable tune hnd money Iu searching for the ledge. By some lt IS supposed that this AlAduln s cave ls situated Iu the Drip ping Springs range, and others are of fhe OplulOn that lt ls situated on the San Carlos reservation, some even going so far 6s to locate It as being only a few hundred yards from the trail leadfug from Globe to San Carlos. and about eight or niue miles from the latter place. At any rate 1t cannot be over thirty miles from the junction of the Gila and San Pedro rivers, this county. l Arizona, as yet, IS a mystery to Amer l jeans, and has been prolific of stories of l rich mines that were operst- | ed during the days of the Spanish Occu- patton, but in 8 great majority Of in- stances those stories have been proven 1 to be will-o'-the wIsps, turing men on to destruction. However, in the case of | the 1uma' rline there is a solid foun- dation Of fact, and one Of these days 4 some lucky urospcctor will stumble on thls immensely rich deposit of ore.

THE THAess OF PeRIcLEs.
ssvsboys and BootblAeks in the shads'
 of the Parthenon.

A tunultous noise of bugles, praying donkeys and barking dogs awOke me on the morning after my arrival from Corinth. The troops were already exercising on every vacant space in the city. As for the don keys, no doubt they meant tO applaud This incesSant praying of donkeys IS a cn- riotrI characteristic of modern Athens. IT augury were not out of fashion, surely some thing might be deduced from this uninter- uittent, excruciating discord.
 Without seeking guidance at the hotel, l plunged into tho warm daylight of tns streets, designing to find the Acropolis, or lose myself educatiOnally. if that were pos sible. For a moment the glare of the white buildings and white payements in this Stadion street was binding. The sky was of the deepest blue; there was nothing moro opaque than a few shreds of diaphanous cloud to temper the heat of the sun. There were tram cars in the street and hackney coaches and produce carts drawn by mules or asses. Both pavements were thronged with pedestrians, military and civilian, mer- chants, Albanians, cOuntrymen, and for eigners. Newsboys rustled their sheets under the noses of the pasSersby: "Ultimatum from the POwers' More British ships in PirRus,' eliciting shrugs of the shoulders from those who were content to ohear the news philosophically, without paying for it, and coppers from others. At the corners sat elderly women, lean and yellow, with little tables of confectionery. pens, ink and paper; and Greek boy, hurTying 70 school, would now and again pay his half penny and snatch cube of Turkish de- light" from the crOnes. The cafes were opening, and the bakers sending their carts full of rolls here, there and everywhere. HydrOstatic vans did what they could to lay the rising Attic dust. A troop of ugly Nu- bian women, with muscular frames, stood in recess chattering, with much glitter of white teeth; they had greens to sell, fresh picked from the banks of the Ilissus-aI the necesSaries for the salad so much be- loved of true Greek; and at intervals a smart youngster darted at the feet of the respectable wayfarer, and besOught him 70 be allowed to clean his boots for five lepta, or less than q half Penny.-Cor.
